The credibility of the United Nations’ sanctions regime is at an ‘all time low’, said India on Tuesday, taking aim at China, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United Nations Secretariat over ‘selectivity’ and ‘double standards’ against terrorism.
Delivering a speech sharply critical of U.N. processes at a Security council session on ‘Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts’ where she did not name the countries, India’s U.N. envoy Ruchira Kamboj took exception to China’s decision to place a hold on terror listings, the ‘glorification’ of terror acts by Pakistan, and Afghanistan’s Taliban regime for providing shelter for terror groups, including ISIL-Khorasan behind the attacks on a Gurudwara in Kabul.
In particular, Ms. Kamboj slammed the U.N. Secretary General’s (SG) report on terrorism that had, in its section on threats in Central and South Asia, referred only to ISIL-K, and not to allied groups that target India, which India has been providing information on.
